Word-savvy, explore the copy

dark night.

A full moon shines brightly.

The cold wind howled at night.

On the mountain road that climbs the endless peaks, there is a hidden forest next to the mountain road.

The four Zhuang Cai people were hiding among them.

They leaned against a huge rock to hide from the cold wind and communicated.

"Counting the time, they should have gone down the mountain."

Nan Subei looked at the watch on his hand and counted the time.

Taoist priest Tian also nodded beside him, looking up at the moon in the dark night: "Yes, based on the time they came up, they have probably completely left Daofeng by now."

"Looking like this, we shouldn't be thrown off the mountain." Zhuang Cai said.

The reason why they were still hiding on this mountain road after discovering the problem instead of going up or down the mountain. It's because they don't know if they will be thrown down the mountain after the mountain is closed.

I wonder if the existence on the mountain will find these little mice who are still hiding on the mountain.

"Strange, wouldn't it be strange if they didn't have any means?

There will definitely be brave people who stay on the mountain, and there will definitely be people who are not afraid of death and want to climb up to the peak to have a look. "

Hearing Nan Subei's doubts, Zhuang Cai had already thought about it before and expressed his previous guess: "I speculate that he can go down the mountain, and it has been determined that his brain is parasitized by that kind of thing.

That would definitely guarantee that they would go down the mountain and not stay on the mountain.

As for normal times, do you still remember when we were waiting at the foot of the mountain? The invisible protective film on the mountain gate.

Having these two things will ensure that problems will not arise. "

Upon hearing this, Wu Nian pointed at himself and then at everyone.

Said: "What about us? We are obviously not parasitized, right? Don't they know?"

"Maybe someone is covering for us? It's also possible that they are very confident that the second trial can definitely control people, and they have never thought that the second trial cannot control people." Taoist priest Tian said next to him.

"I'm more inclined to think that...the old gods who receive us, or people hiding in the dark, are helping us."

Zhuang Cai said.

Seeing everyone's shifting eyes, Zhuang Cai said: "Hasn't the environment of the first trial already been explained? It must have been intentional. And the spells in the copy were also placed in that trial on purpose. Just for us to get it.”

This is very reasonable, and it is indeed the most likely situation now.

After waiting for a while, the wait was almost over.

Zhuang Cai stood up: "Let's go up, be careful and stay vigilant."

Several people nodded and started walking towards the mountain.

In order not to alert the enemy, Wu Nian was not allowed to use his Buddha's light to illuminate false illusions.

This would also consume too much energy in Wu Nian's body.

Everyone just silently started climbing again.

Fighting against the cold wind, since they did not leave too far from the top of the mountain, it took only about an hour or two before they could see the end of the stairs on the mountain from a distance under the moonlight.

See the end of the mountain road.

"I'll go first." Nan Subei squatted down and whispered.

At this time, he is the best person to explore from the front.

The three of them nodded and squatted in the darkness next to them, hiding in the shadows. Waiting for exploration from Southern Jiangsu and Northern Jiangsu.

Nan Subei reached out and grabbed the cloak from the darkness, covering himself. In the darkness, even the distortion of space could not be seen clearly, only the figure of Nansu and Bei disappeared.

Under the shield of the sound, he quietly disappeared in front of everyone and walked towards the mountain.

Staying vigilant, in order to be on guard against accidents, even under the current circumstances, Nansu Bei still slowed down its pace and slowly climbed up.

When Weiwei was about to reach the platform, he looked up and could only see the original pavilions and the quiet scenes in the square.

There was no light in the entire square and the pavilions everywhere.

It was confirmed from the side that this place was completely silent.

After confirming that there was no problem, Nan Subei stood up, but when he had just climbed onto the platform.

There were slight footsteps in front of him.

In the dark shadows of the square ahead.

The footsteps were light, but it was so obvious in this silent night.

Hearing such a voice, Nan Subei squatted down silently and even held his breath involuntarily. Even though he knew for sure that the sound of his breathing would not be heard.

The footsteps in the darkness were getting closer and closer, and each step seemed to hit Nansu Bei's heart. Until the man walked out of the darkness and appeared under the moonlight.

This man was none other than the one who received them and the only living person they had seen on the mountain, the old god.

He stared straight ahead.

Nan Subei could feel that his eyes seemed to be fixed on her, and her invisibility cloak seemed to be completely unable to hide her figure in front of him.

When he felt this look, his heart began to beat wildly.

It's over, it's been discovered. Nan Subei couldn't help but think in his mind.

They had actually seen the old god's abilities, and some of the methods were certain to not be fanciful.

He was not so arrogant that he would not be discovered with his invisibility.

However, the gaze that was being stared at moved away, and the old immortal walked over like this, as if he had not seen the existence of Nansu Bei.

Then he circled around and walked to the side.

All the way to a place only ten meters away from the mountain pass, on the edge of the cliff, standing next to a courtyard on the cliff.

In this way, under the eyes of Nansu and Bei, it turned into a stone statue under the illumination of the moonlight.

The stone statue holds its left hand behind its back and its right hand pointing at a sword, looking into the darkness.

After witnessing the entire process, Nan Subei finally couldn't help but gasp. The sound of his heart pounding echoed through his body.

After calming down for a while, he cautiously approached the stone statue and looked around. After confirming that the old god had turned into a stone statue, he began to take a brief look around.

Start doing your own job.

Sure enough, there was no one, or not even a living thing.

There is a dead silence here, and these pavilions, pavilions, and various houses are all completely empty.

But it was brand new inside, without a trace of dust.

A majestic and beautiful place, but so dead.

After a simple inspection and investigation, Nan Su Bei began to walk down the mountain with a stooped waist. Before leaving, he couldn't help but look at the stone statue.

After making sure that there was no change in the stone statue, he walked on.

Zhuang Cai and others below were quietly waiting with their bodies prostrate.

Suddenly, the cloak next to him was lifted up, revealing the figure of Nan Su Bei.

He happened to appear next to Daoist Tian.

Looking at the sudden appearance of Nansubei, Taoist Tian's prostrate figure couldn't help but tremble.

Obviously, although this invisibility effect could not deceive the old god, it was more than enough to deceive Zhuang Cai and the others.

"Why have you been gone so long?" Zhuang Cai asked.

Nan Subei looked at Zhuang Cai and couldn't help but said: "Brother, I believe it now. It should be just like what you said. The old god is helping us on purpose."

After hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but stare at him. It was obvious that Nansu and Bei must have experienced something up there.

This couldn't help but make them a little worried.

"The old god came just as soon as I went up. I thought he had noticed me, because I really felt his eyes looking at me. You know, my sense in this regard is still very keen.

Especially after training with Brother Jian for so long.

The old god saw me, but he didn't expose me. Instead, he went to the nearby courtyard and turned into a stone statue. Totally ignored my existence. "

After listening to Nan Subei's story, Zhuang Cai couldn't help but frown and repeated: "Stone statue?"

Nan Subei nodded, stared at Zhuang Cai and said, "It's the stone statue. I saw it with my own eyes."

Several people looked at each other.

Then Zhuang Cai said: "Forget it, take us up first."

All the previous situations have been confirmed, and the old god is basically very likely to be on their side, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

Zhuang Cai suspected that it was very possible that the old immortal was also parasitized by the painful emotions, but he was not completely parasitized.

Nan Subei nodded and led the way. Several people followed him up.

Soon I came to the platform and saw the stone statue under the moonlight at a glance. Because it was so conspicuous, after all, there was no such thing before.

Several people walked over, and Zhuang Cai looked at the posture of the stone statue and his eyes.

"Since he is most likely from our end, let's look at other places first."

Zhuang Cai said and walked towards the square.

Several people came over and stood on the square in the moonlight, looking at the pavilions in the darkness.

"Looking at it this way, it is true that the layout is very similar to the first trial we experienced. It's just that it has become more luxurious and larger, with more and denser building groups, but the general direction of distribution is extremely similar. .”

Director Tian looked at the situation here and said.

To put it simply, it is an expanded and deluxe version of the situation they experienced in the first trial.

"Then what are we going to do now?" Nan Subei looked at the surrounding situation and couldn't help but ask.

Although I knew there was a problem on the mountain, now that I was at the mountain gate, I didn’t know where to start.

Zhuang Cai turned to look at Wu Nian and said, "Use Buddha's light to see what the specific situation is around here."

Because apparently this place is also illusory.

Wu Nian thought for a moment and said, "Would it be too conspicuous if we stood here and did it?"

"Go to the bedroom, where we rested before, it's right next to it." Nan Subei said.

The place where they had rested before was right next to it, and it was the outermost building on the right side of the square.

A few people nodded and walked quietly in the darkness.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, they went in and closed the door.

After entering, Wu Nian made a gesture, and the Buddha's light gathered in front of everyone.

As the Buddha's light gathers and shines wherever it shines, the false illusions twist and dissipate, revealing the reality underneath.

What was exposed was the gray and dilapidated color below, the completely damaged floor of the building, and some wreckage could be seen nearby.

Wu Nian's gestures began to move around, observing the interior of the entire building.

After walking around, it was obvious that the interior was completely ruined, and half of the roof had collapsed.

It's a complete ruin.

However, the damaged areas that collapsed seemed to have been moved. Most of the garbage was swept on both sides and turned into walls and some surrounding furniture.

The beds they slept on were all rotten wooden beds made of simple pieces of wood.

The sheets and quilt covers above are made from stacks of previous clothing.

These clothes were old and tattered and looked like they had been worn for an unknown amount of time.

Looking at these clothes, they immediately thought of where the clothes in the first trial came from.

Relics left over from the flesh and blood that was removed.

Looking at this scene, Nan Subei looked uncomfortable.

"We just slept in this damn place for two days?"

Taoist priest Tian also looked annoyed and nodded: "It seems so, that's right."

"Then the porridge we ate..." Before Nan Subei could finish speaking, Zhuang Cai pressed his hand on his mouth.

"Okay, just think about it."

Wu thought dispersed the Buddha's light and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha."

"Since the previous ones are all fake, let's look for the real ones. See if there are any clues that can be of some help to our current goals and situation."

Zhuang Cai said and looked at Wu Nian, Wu Nian must cooperate with these things.

It has to be said that Wu Nian's Buddha's light really played a huge role in this copy.

Wu Nian nodded.

The four people began to shuttle around in the surrounding buildings. As they shuttled around, they basically determined that most of the empty rooms seemed to have no warning restrictions.

I don't know if it was not there originally, or because the old god knew that they were coming and deliberately cleared these things to facilitate their movements.

But I have to say that most of the rooms here are different from the rooms in the trial because there are so many more.

Just look everywhere.

Finally, after searching several rooms, Wu Nian seemed to have mastered some tricks.

I learned how to get rid of these illusory images on a large scale better, faster and more energy-saving.

After entering another house, he made another gesture.

Press your hands upward into palms.

A faint Buddha light spreads around like nozzles on the lawn.

Then the whole room began to become looming and unreal, and reality and fiction began to overlap.

Although there is no gathered Buddha's light, the falseness completely disappears. But this was enough for the three of them to quickly search the entire room.

Seeing this situation, the three people took action immediately.

Because it seems that this situation cannot last too long, otherwise it will consume too much of Wu Nian's energy. Moreover, they are still in such a dangerous place and may enter into battle at any time.

Rummaging around.

Zhuang Cai, who was very experienced in this area, saw a tattered bookcase at a glance. Because it seems a little too conspicuous.

Most of the rubbish had been swept aside, except for this tattered wardrobe stacked on top of the fake wardrobe.

Zhuang Cai walked over and rummaged through them one by one, and soon got several ancient books from a drawer.

As soon as I got it, I realized that these ancient books were a bit too old and had too many repairs on them.

And you can feel that these papers have become very fragile and must be handled carefully.

But I still accidentally poked the paper off the book cover.

As a result, Zhuang Cai had to carefully take them out and use his delicate Qi to surround these books for external protection.

As the room was quickly searched, Wu Nian also withdrew the Buddha's light, and everyone gathered next to Zhuang Cai.

It's clear he's getting something.

Watching Zhuang Cai read the books and words on the ancient ruins.

"Can you understand this?" Taoist priest Tian asked a little strangely.

Because he has never seen or even heard of anyone who can understand these fonts in the copy.

The same was true for Zhuang Cai before he joined the dungeon and before he saw Huang Zaiwen.

Wu Nian also showed some curiosity.

Seeing this situation, Nan Subei explained: "My brother gained the ability to decipher the text in the last dungeon."

"You still have this kind of ability?" Taoist priest Tian was a little surprised.

Just by listening to it, you can tell how powerful this skill is for exploring dungeons.

Nan Subei nodded: "Yes, there is another person like this in our guild."

"Awesome, I am the frog in the well." Taoist Master Tian said.

Although I have been in this industry for so many years, it is obvious that the real information is not very circulated.

The three of them were chatting nearby and did not disturb Zhuang Cai.

After all, he couldn't understand, so he could only watch the surrounding area to alert Zhuang Cai to danger, and then chatted.

Zhuang Cai looked at the ancient book in his hand.

It was obvious that these ancient books were deliberately placed here to convey information to them.

The title of the book already confirms it.

"Daoshan Town"

"Training the Demon"

"Refining the Heart"

Zhuang Cai quickly read through these three books because there were not many words in them.

The method used is similar to ancient Chinese, and it is easy to understand because of the text analysis.

The concise text and not thick thickness quickly allowed Zhuang Cai to understand the general situation here.

The reason why he said it was placed here deliberately is because these three books are enough to deal with the situation here and roughly explain the problems here.

The first is the first book "Doshan Town".

This is a simple geographical atlas, and there are even some simple ancient maps written with a brush.

He also introduced the so-called Daoshan Town, which refers to Daofeng and the towns below.

There is no such thing as Daofeng. This mountain was originally called Daoshan.

The town below was called Doshan.

The only thing this place is famous for is the family that runs this town.

【Chen Family】

The second half of the book talks about the Chen family and how the town was established.

It is said that there was a dynasty about I don’t know how many years ago. The fourth generation of the Chen family was the royal censor of books in this dynasty.

He is responsible for revising, maintaining and summarizing the royal books, collecting more books and storing them in the royal library.

Their family specializes in this, giving them access to a large number of books and various ancient texts.

This also led to the entire family having a deep understanding of various books from various sects. After all, it was the royal library, and there were all kinds of unique and precious books everywhere, but they could take advantage of their position to read them at will.

Until this period of time, the so-called Chen family was still a normal family of scholars, with at most some martial arts power.
